This seems incredibly arbitrary. It limits what can be done with the app. ### 1/5 — Layers? *2021-12-28, version 1.1.0* There’s an option called layers with no way to add layers. ### 4/5 — Floor plans *2021-11-27, version 1.1.0* Is this app good for also making floor plans and layouts? I’m hoping it will work. I am going to try this app out and give it some stars after I make a floor plan then I’ll select how many stars. ### 1/5 — Why is this still in the App Store? *2019-10-03, version 1.0.2* This app has not been updated in a very long time and barely functions any more. ### 5/5 — Wow! Ignore ANY Review Less Than 5 Star! *2019-02-22, version 1.0.2* Truly the most powerful vector creating app in the App Store AND ITS FREE! Or the tools you’re given for again FREE is deserving of only praise and gratitude for making it available...did I mention FOR FREE?! Lol highly recommend there’s no risk to install. If you need a Illustrator fami,Ian I reface with layers and well basically Illustrator on the iPad or IPad Pro (who CARES if it doesn’t yet utilize the pressure sensitive feature of our iPad Pros... go use your Mac for the advanced stuff! This app has more free Illustrator-like tools than any other paid app I own (& I own every major one in the App Store as well as many not so well known having spent hundreds of dollars over the years as a pro graphic and multimedia artist and photographer who uses Adobes suite of software since CS1 to CC today so I do know what I’m talking about) Anyway get this app it’s ad free and as high quality as they get from attractive user interface to functionality to results produced the only critique needed is with the artist or pseudo artist using the app not the app itself- to give this less than 5 stars is like giving a home a low rating because the hammer used building it didn’t have the type of handle you prefer... WHO CARES lol. Just get it and pay the 7.99 to output SVG and to your clouds which FYI for FREE you can access files on your clouds and no ads! Lol I could go on and on but won’t just get it and learn yourself it simply works... pardon my frustration and growing intolerance with greedy ppl looking for everything while paying NOTHING or expecting WAY more than they pay when why they pay for works perfectly. THATS ONLY REASON this app isn’t a 5 star overall as every less than 5 star reviewer is rooted what they wish it also had when it has way more than any other.... FOR FREE even with the in-app upgrade worth every penny at twice to 3 times the 7.99. ### 5/5 — Excellent illustration application *2018-12-22, version 1.0.2* This is my first time to write a review for an app, but really this application deserves. I can say that this application is a very trusted tool for the artist who like to work anywhere. ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2018-10-29, version 1.0.2* Looks like one of the recent iOS updates has broken the menu system.. not sure when it happened since I haven’t used this app in quite a while. For an alternative, check out the Affinity apps. Bez was pretty good, but it definitely seems like it’s been abandoned. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-04-27, version 1.0.2* For the select same style alone, I love this app! I also would like to see more boolean pathfinder type of functions. ### 1/5 — Extremely basic functionality *2018-04-15, version 1.0.2* Missing any even slightly more advanced operations such as offsets. UX is straight from the 90 and the app also has it's fair share of bugs. But worst of all is that its completely abandoned. No updates... ### 5/5 — Slick *2018-03-12, version 1.0.2* Pretty amazing for a FREE app. ## Frequently asked questions about Bez ### What is Bez - Vector Illustrator?
